Perhaps I'm perverse, but I get some enjoyment from SNAFUs, like actors suddenly appearing in different clothes in the same scene.

Two favourites: Sophia Loren doing up her zip in El Cid, and Lawrence of Arabia reaching for offered food with his left hand.

I'm less amused by idiocies like The Hulk throwing tanks around like frisbees, or the aliens in Independance Day having the exact same USB connecters.

Love this bombing run scene from "Dr. Strangelove" made in 1964.

I love Dead Poets Society. It’s hard to pick just one scene, but I’m posting the final one.

^ I love Life of Brian!



I always liked this super weird dream sequence from Vertigo - one of my favorite movies.



Dalí worked with Hitchcock on the dream sequence in Spellbound:



I love surrealism.

Speaking of Hitchcock movies, I’ve always liked the last scenes in Psycho and North By Northwest although for very different reasons. :lol:

A space probe has been handled carelessly and brought a contagion (The Andromeda Strain [1971]) back to Earth. Some government scientists are getting a first look at what the contagion is capable of...



The movie is based, rather faithfully, upon a book of the same name by Michael Chrichton. Yet there is a phenomena there that, in my experience, is unusual. The book and the movie tell the same story; but, you can read the book first and it will not ruin the movie for you; or, you can watch the movie first and it will not ruin the book for you!

Melancholia [2011] is depressingly well-named. :(
